How large are these? I'm sure the snapshot.d.o maintainers would prefer
something that does not change with each mirror push, or is not part of
the dists/ tree pushed to mirrors.

I think having an external service for these is better: otherwise we
have to deal with who can add signatures, and probably would limit it to
people in Debian's keyring (I don't want ftp-master to deal with
external parties).  A seperate service could accept signatures from
everybody, including parties not directly involved in Debian or
automated systems.

Also adding even more data to the Packages indicies is something I would
like to avoid: the files are already quite large.
